WORKING WITH HARD-TO-ENGAGE CHILDREN & ADOLESCENTS

I Don’t Want to Talk About It

Working with difficult-to-engage clients can be frustrating and challenging, even for seasoned clinicians. The challenge of working with younger clients in therapy can be further compounded by their fear of entering therapy, their lack of control over the decision to attend therapy,

their feeling of being scapegoated for family problems, their lack of motivation for treatment, and their developmental capacity which can make it difficult for them to respond to traditional talk-therapy.

The first step in working with hard-to-engage clients is understanding the reasons underlying what has been called “resistance.” The second step involves engaging clients in the therapeutic process. Best-selling author and one of Canada’s foremost presenters on childhood trauma, Liana Lowenstein will outline the factors that underlie engaging hard-to-reach children and families. She will present tips, tricks, and techniques to engage children, adolescents, and parents in therapy and maximize potential for change. Emphasis will be on play-based, expressive arts techniques for use with preschool, school-aged, and adolescent clients. This will include therapeutic games, art, music, and stories. Strategies for engaging parents in therapy will be outlined, as well as activities for use in child-focused family therapy sessions.

The techniques will be applied to specific clinical examples to illustrate how they can build rapport, facilitate open communication, and help the client work through treatment goals.

1. Describe the factors underlying therapeutic resistance

2. Implement creative interventions to facilitate rapport-building with children of all ages

3. Utilize innovative strategies to engage resistant, hard-to-serve parents

4. Implement play-based and expressive arts techniques with clients who are reluctant to verbally articulate their thoughts and feelings

5. Utilize activities for child-focused family therapy sessions

T here have been a number of treatments developed and tested in recent years specifically geared to treating traumatized

children. These approaches share many of the same core components, as listed below (The National Child Traumatic Stress Network, 2013):

» Engaging clients » Conducting a systemic assessment » Providing psychoeducation » Addressing children and families’ traumatic

stress reactions » Completing and processing a trauma narrative » Enhancing emotional regulation and anxiety

management » Facilitating adaptive coping » Strengthening parenting skills and behaviour

management » Enhancing safety skills

The effectiveness of trauma-treatment with children and adolescents is enhanced by integrating playful, developmentally appropriate interventions so children will engage in treatment. Playful therapeutic techniques motivate children and adolescents to participate in sessions, facilitate skill building, and lead to a greater sense of enjoyment in the therapeutic process.

Through PowerPoint presentation, activity demonstrations, videos of client sessions, and experiential exercises, this workshop will cover the following three components:

1) Theoretical Overview: A brief theoretical overview will be presented to provide a context for the assessment and treatment interventions. This will include a review of recent empirical findings on the impact of trauma on children, and a review of the benefits of integrating playful techniques into trauma treatment.

2) Assessment: The instructor’s innovative trauma assessment model will be presented. Workshop attendees will receive a packet of trauma assessment activities so they can utilize it immediately in their clinical practice. Participants will learn how to use the assessment as a basis for formulating realistic, measurable treatment goals.

3) Treatment: A variety of creative techniques will be presented to address the core components of trauma-treatment: Psychoeducation (e.g., educating children and parents about trauma and its treatment); parenting skills (use of effective parenting interventions such as praise, positive attention, and contingency reinforcement procedures); relaxation skills (focused breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and other relaxation activities to reverse the physiologic manifestations of traumatic stress); affective modulation skills (feeling identification; recognizing and self-regulating negative affective states); cognitive coping (recognizing relations among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; replacing unhelpful thoughts with more adaptive thoughts); trauma narrative (creating a narrative of the child’s

traumatic experiences, correcting cognitive distortions about these experiences, and placing these experiences in the context of the child’s whole life); in vivo mastery of trauma reminders (graduated exposure to feared stimuli); conjoint child-parent sessions (joint sessions in which the child shares the trauma narrative with parents and other family issues are addressed); and enhancing future safety and development (addressing safety concerns related to prevention of future trauma, return to normal developmental trajectory).

Participants will come away with many new and creative interventions they can use with clients from preschoolers to teens.

1. Describe the core components of evidence-based trauma treatment

2. Discuss the benefits of integrating playful approaches in trauma treatment

3. Apply at least three techniques to assess traumatized children and adolescents

4. Implement at least five new interventions to treat traumatized children and adolescents

5. Describe how to adapt the trauma narrative for use with complexly traumatized children and adolescents

6. Describe two techniques to strengthen parenting skills

WORK SHOP AGENDA – KE Y TOPIC S COVERED

You’re getting good outcomes with your trauma survivor clients — but what if you could do even better? Studies show there

are 4 major factors that make trauma treatment work. If you accomplish these 4 things, your clients will heal.

Trauma treatment is that simple. It’s not easy — but it’s simple. Based on 25 years of break-through research, this two day workshop will revolutionize the way you work with trauma survivors. After completing the workshop, you’ll be able to double your outcomes by incorporating

these factors into whatever treatment modality you’re using — and we’ll walk you through exactly how to do it. Joy, peace, purpose, and love are available to every single human being — when we, as clinicians, can help our clients effectively, we can end their suffering.

*In addition, completion of this two-day workshop meets the educational requirements when applying to become a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (International Association of Trauma Professionals, www.traumapro.net )
